Now I look at it, we don't do it nearly as much as we used to!  I had
been mentally blanking out the announcements and hadn't noticed they'd
stopped quite a while ago.  Excuse me.

There is still a bit of "in this cycle" or "in the next release" which
I still think is a cypher to most people outside of Launchpad
development, so if that changes to "soon", all the better.

It's funny looking back through launchpad-announce which is basically
now launchpad-downtime-announce.  It's nice when people post good news
to launchpadstatus rather than it just being a litany of failure on eg
<http://twitter.com/#!/launchpadstatus>.  About half the blog posts
are downtime announcements too, which looks a bit heavy when you page
back through history.
